That is why you never take your eyes off your opponent to grab your stuff when he is just feet away.
How many fights are on Youtube where some idiot thinks "I wanna be macho and take my shirt off" and as he takes his shirt off, the guy he is about to fight takes a shot?

Well I guess the guy who kicked him is going away for a long time.

The reality of fighting is that, there is always the potential for very serious injury or even death.
Fighting is serious business but somewhere along the line sit became "acceptable
behavior".

I don't think fighting is acceptable behaviour. Maybe I'm not reading what you're saying as correct.
Within society, physical conflict that results in harm is wholly unacceptable.
We reach after it through sports and such, but in day to day mundane riggings and doings, it doesn't belong in greater society.
It is because of the very real threat of fatality to someone that it is not acceptable and it is also why so many oppose the very idea of bloodsports to satisfy a desire.
It is not dissimilar to how masturbation is practiced.
Ultimately, fighting is not about who's right, it's about who's left.
Pay attention, be harmonious, be awake and most of all be a human being.
That way, stuff like this doesn't really come into your life.
Kung Fu is good for you.

A famous Russian once wrote "you may not be interested in war, but war may be interested in you"
There are clearly times you can NOT avoid violence, no matter what some sectors preach.
That being said, those times can get way out of hand and the consequences are never predictable
Had a recent run-in with this reality. Glad I was prepared, not happy I had to use that preparation

Too many people do think that violence is acceptable, that is the problem.
Too many people are walking around looking for violence.
Dave, That is the tight attitude to have, don't look for it but be prepared for it.
The thing is, the reason WHY one must be prepared is because there are those looking for it.

yep, I agree with this statement.
It's true and it's a good enough reason to get some martial training into your life.
Kung Fu is good for you.

I had a friend, he got into a fight, nothing serious, just a typical fight that people get into.That was really sad to see two young people's lives ruined in one moments madness
God Bless.
He hit the guy, the guy fell down and his head hit some stairs and he was in a coma for 3 days.
He was fine and nothing happened, but those 3 days were the worse days in my friends life.
I don't think he was ever the same.

One of my students once handled a bar fight perfectly. His opponent kept punching at him, he kept dodging and blocking. At the end his opponent got so frustrated, sat down on the chair, and didn't understand why he could not hit his opponent. The fight ended peacefully and nobody got hurt.

One of my students works for AP and went down to do a photo essay in the Prison at Angola, LA. Out of everything he saw and heard the one recurring theme with all of the inmates was if they had only just let it got at that one critical moment before there was no turning back, then they would not be where they are today.....

Angola is a lovely place. It looks even better when looking at it over your shoulder. He was right too. Some of those boys probably left home to get a quart of milk or a loaf of bread and ended up doing hard time for something that just seemed like a good idea at the time. I spent some hard years there myself, but then I was railroaded. I was innocent I tell you.
